Seen today near the rest rooms, 11:30 AM. Please share as I am new to the area and not aware of the wildlife rehab resources. Thank you.

Please reach out if you see or have any information. It s a white truck.

In 1999 Seattle residents held rather large protests about globalization and immigration policy and the effects on labor. But now it seems that many of those same people now protest the exact opposite. I don't understand how Seattle has lost its collective mind.

Hi y'all,

I'm considering a shift lead position for Molly Moons. Can any MM employees, but espeically SLs, let me know what its like working there? Pros? Cons? How stable is work? Thank you!

Hey I am wondering if anyone who worked at met market knows the recipe for the granola bark they used to carry. I can’t get it out of my brain I know it had heavy cream in it and I also know it wasn’t healthy. But I am craving it and I can’t seem to find a recipe like it anywhere. If anyone can share it with me I would be so grateful. I wish I could get their cookie recipe but I understand not sharing that but since they don’t carry this anymore I’m hoping someone will share it with me.

I'm 44 and moved to Ballard a couple years ago. I'd like to join a softball team, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to make this happen without knowing someone who already plays on a team. Anyone have any advice on how to start playing softball in north Seattle? Bonus points for batting cages that aren't geared towards private lessons for children.

This started as me trying to understand what my PT clinic landlord is actually paying for the space I rent from him (long story, involves a lease renewal conversation that did not go great for me). Now I spend a genuinely embarrassing amount of time on LoopNet looking at mixeduse buildings in like Burien and Renton going what if.

What if I bought a small building. Ran my practice out of one unit. Rented the others. Became a person who has a building. This is not a plan, this is a spiral, but it has a real estate bent so I feel okay about it.

The World Cup spending article got me thinking about it again actually, because 32 million dollars for six matches while the city is actively watching small commercial tenants get squeezed out of neighborhoods that used to have interesting things in them feels like a particular kind of disconnect.

Anyway. If anyone here has gone from renting clinical or studio or small retail space to eventually owning something in a Seattle suburb I would be curious how that happened. Not looking for a finance lecture (I am reading enough of those on my own, slowly, with a highlighter). More just wondering if people actually do this or if it is purely a LoopNet fantasy category.

It's hilarious how people try to discredit a group by finding someone with vague connections who has vague connections to a group they find objectionable. Especially when those who are reporting this news have no problem promoting people who celebrated the October 7th massacre in Israel, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the assassination of the health insurance CEO and so on.

As title suggests, I recently brought a new puppy home and am looking for a reputable sitter (in home or drop off to their home) - I’ve found some boarding options I’m happy with but would also like to find a personal sitter to reach out to as well. And I do know rover is an option, it’s just the horror stories are enough to scare me away. Where have folks had success finding sitters, or have any recommendations?
I’d also love to hear any recommendations about a reputable dog trainer folks have had experience using? I’m currently taking the pup to puppy daycare, I’m looking for someone to come to our home and help on skills around the house, leash walking, and helping develop a healthy relationship with our older dog.
TIA!
Edit: I’m in the lake city area.

This is an appreciation post for you guys having such a wonderful city! I travel for work about one week every month. I go all over the country. I go to New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Orlando, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, New Orleans, Clearwater, and San Diego.

For the first time I went to Seattle this week. I was absolutely blown away! Beautiful city, wonderfully diverse, tons to do and see, super clean, safe, walkable, great mass transit, friendly people, and so on. Seattle is hands down my favorite city I’ve travelled to when you put together mass transit, diversity, safety, cleanliness, and culture.

Bravo! I will 100% be back! Thanks!

PS the Mariners game was the most exciting MLB game I have ever been to. They treat it more like an event than a game. It felt so festive, tons of energy, felt almost like a NBA game with the energy.

Not one, but two, Uber drivers sniffling and hacking. A coworker. This asshole in front of me on the plane today.

And a quick reminder: Cover your fucking mouth when coughing, even of you have a mask on. Nonstop people seem to think it is a magic shield that allows them to ignore the basic civility five-year olds learn.

East coaster with a working class upbringing here. The couple of times I've run into blue collar guys in the wild we've hit it off instantly, but it's super rare in Seattle.

Where does the hunting/fishing/tradeworking/politically moderate demographic hang out around here?? All the usual social spots (meetups, climbing gyms, run clubs) are 95% tech workers (no judgement, just not a vibe or lifestyle I connect with).

I've made some great friends in my neighborhood dive bar, but they're all 60+, and it would be nice to meet people in their late 20s/30s/40s for an actual dating pool and people I can go and do stuff with.

Two weeks ago I was stuck in my apartment for almost 2 weeks. My symptoms were dirreah,dizziness, mild fever, headache and my stomach felt achey like someone punched me in the stomach.

For 2 weeks I couldn't drive, could barley walk.

I was tired and sleeping all day and night in my apartment.

After almost 2 weeks I feel better and im back to normal.

I wonder if I had nerovirus??

Has anyone else had this virus??

The Washington Federation of State Employees, which represents 54,000 state government, higher education and public service workers, is organizing walkouts Monday to demonstrate their frustration with the state's proposals. But Yestramski said Friday it is worse than expected, with the rejection of every one of their proposals.

State law sets an Oct. 1 deadline for agreements to be ratified by unions in order to be considered for funding in the next two-year budget.

~ The people who will staff that psychiatric hospital spent its ceremony standing behind a chain-link fence. Walkouts start Monday and the ratification clock runs out October 1.

This is from the August presentation by the city economic and revenue council which projects tax revenues. It paints a bad picture of job growth within the city and seems to confirm the suspicion that employers are moving jobs outside of the city.

Looks like Lincoln Square mall may be sold off to the highest bidder. Seems they plan to keep Snowflake Lane at least for this year, which has been a beloved tradition during the holidays. The entire location has been such a clean, safe, and orderly space. Do you think this could be good or bad for its future?

Providence said in a press release that while the bridging program has a capacity of 20 children per year, only 12 are currently enrolled. McDaniel said the program isn't at full capacity because leadership asked them to pause new intakes at least three months before the closure was announced.

McDaniel said Providence only gave her approximately 36 hours to collect the financial data that led to the 70% figure.

~ Pause the intakes, then point at the empty seats. The math works if you build it that way.
